SNOW

Can you believe it, SNOW in northern Phoenix.

Snow fell in Scottsdale, Cave Creek, the Superstition Mountains, and many points north today during a heavy rain storm that passed through here. There is heavy snow on highways going north out of Mesa and Globe through the towns of Heber, Payson, Show Low/Pinetop all the way to I-40. Of course Flagstaff’s ski resort (Snow Bowl) has more snow than ever (they have really been enjoying the waist-deep powder snow).

NO, I don’t have pictures because it was way too overcast today to get good pictures, and now that the rain has slowed down, it is too dark. From here in the coach, we could look out our side windows and see snow on the top of the superstitions; amazing sight, even though it was getting dark. We have seen this happen several times in the past, but had no idea it would happen today.

Actually, in years past, snow has happened around here as late as Easter. Ken spent today after this morning’s coffee social in the rock shop and about froze (I think the high was around 50...brr). They usually have the shop open until 4, but they closed it early today because it was so cold. I was quite lucky to be able to stay in the coach where it is nice and warm (big grin).

The really good news is by this weekend, we will be up in the 70s....YEA, sun and warmth!!
